Arsene Wenger admits his Arsenal side 'have played better' than the 1-1 draw with Manchester United.
The Gunners were heading for defeat before Olivier Giroud's last-minute header sealed them a point at Old Trafford, cancelling out Juan Mata's second-half effort.

"I felt overall we had a serious defensive performance, offensively we __have played better," Wenger concluded.
"We had not our usual style to go forward. We were not sharp or fluent enough. Man United blocked us well as well, they were very organised.
"In the second half we came out in the first 20 minutes and we didn't play. Deservedly Manchester United led 1-0, but they dropped off and gave us the ball again. We were resilient and in the end I think we scored a great goal."
Red Devils boss Jose Mourinho reacted angrily when United were denied a penalty by referee Andre Marriner in the first half after Antonio Valencia tangled with Nacho Monreal.
While the Portuguese was restrained after the game, following recent brushes with match officials, Wenger did not think the incident merited a penalty.
He said: "My view was it was not a penalty and you will not be surprised by that. Mourinho's view was it was a penalty and you will not be surprised by that!"
